Updated to match(es) played on 16 April 2021. [86][87], On 21 March, Arsenal faced fellow London side West Ham United at the London Stadium for both teams' last matches of the month before the international break. Arsenal were unable score again, and the 2–1 loss saw their winning streak came to an end, while Wolves completed a league double over Arsenal and snapped an eight-game winless streak. Slavia Praha v Arsenal FC - UEFA Europa League Quarter Final: Leg Two Bukayo Saka was a victim of a few critics as he missed a golden opportunity in the first leg to alter the scoreline. Aubameyang sent Meslier the wrong way and converted the penalty for his second goal of the game. Despite being reduced to ten men, Tottenham twice came close to equalizing. A cross from Saka from the right was nearly put in by West Brom defender Semi Ajayi, who hit the post. Liverpool's Rhian Brewster was the only man to miss as Arsenal clinched their 16th Community Shield, with Aubameyang scoring the winning penalty. Lacazette failed to convert a one-on-one with Alisson midway through the second half, while substitute and debutant Diogo Jota got on the scoresheet with two minutes remaining to seal a Liverpool victory. The first of these meetings was a fourth round FA Cup match on 23 January. Neither side had much of an offensive spark in the first half, and the score was still 0–0 at halftime; the closest chances from either side were Rob Holding's header and Lukáš Provod's long shot, respectively, both of which went just over the bar. [98] Arsenal looked to have scored in the fourteenth minute, as a Bukayo Saka strike that ricocheted off the far post fell to Emile Smith Rowe to tap it into the open net, but a VAR review found Smith Rowe to have been offside on Saka's shot. In the closing minutes of the first half, Héctor Bellerín received a yellow card for a late tackle on Conor Gallagher; this was the Spaniard's sixth yellow card of the season and a league-leading mark at the time. In the third minute, a corner from James Ward-Prowse found Stuart Armstrong on the edge of the box, and the Scotsman powered a half-volley past Bernd Leno. At half time, it was 0–0, but once again the Gunners came back with three second half goals. A Rob Holding own goal and a Yerry Mina header on either side of Nicolas Pépé's converted penalty before half-time gave the Toffees the win, with David Luiz coming closest for Arsenal in the second half when he hit the post with a well-struck half-volley. Crystal Palace vs Arsenal (PL M37) The goal also saw Lacazette reach the benchmark of 50 Premier League goals, being only the 10th Arsenal player in history to achieve that feat. However, Jorginho, a second-half substitute, had his spot kick saved by Bernd Leno to cap off a 3–1 victory for the Gunners. Nicolas Pépé made his way into the box and squared off against Pieters. The first half was dull and goalless, but early in the second half, a headbutt on Ezgjan Alioski earned Nicolas Pépé a red card. In the first half, neither team was able to score, although after a couple half-chances Willian and Bukayo Saka came the closest to scoring; the former hit the crossbar in the 39th minute, and the latter headed unchallenged over the bar just before halftime.

Less than 80 seconds into the game, Riyad Mahrez hit a looping cross that found Sterling in the box, who headed the ball in from six yards out and gave Bernd Leno little chance to make a save. With time winding down and Olympiacos still behind, a moment of frustration from Ousseynou Ba saw the Greek side reduced to ten men. Though the game ended 1–1, Slavia Prague came away with a crucial away goal ahead of the second leg. However, on its way in, the ball was unintentionally touched by Souček's foot, leading to claims of offside from several Arsenal players. [58][59], On 2 February, Arsenal traveled to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the Gunners dominated the game for most of the first half. This also marked the third straight game in which Lacazette has scored. This time, Mikel Arteta's side fell to another disappointing defeat, their fifth in seven league games, in the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur. A fine passing move just before half-time culminated in Eddie Nketiah being denied from close-range by goalkeeper Richard Strebinger before heading in the rebound. After dragging a shot wide minutes ago, Bukayo Saka tapped in a Cédric cross from close range. An early second-half substitution saw Ainsley Maitland-Niles replace Bellerín at right back, so as to avoid the danger of the Spaniard receiving a second yellow and a subsequent red card and suspension. It was the home team who got off to a hot start, jumping out to a 3–0 in the first thirty-five minutes.
